John Henwood, Hon Secretary at Headington B C writes:

I have received the very sad news that Mark Kirby has passed away. Mark was encouraged to take up the game of bowls by his brother-in-law Paul Mabbutt at Summertown BC.  When Summertown closed in 2004, Mark moved to Headington BC with both Paul and his father-in-law Brian Mabbutt.  Mark was a good competitive club bowler, a very dependable and friendly person. It was a delight to be in his company, and he will be sadly missed.

The funeral will be held at midday on Tuesday 31st March, at St Swithun’s Church in Kennington.
